White letter paint??

OK...stupid question here.

Is there a product out there that can touch up the OWL scorpions on my 11 FX4? One tire has half the letters already off after a week....call me crazy but I like em all white or none at all. Any links to a product out there? I was thinking liquid paper but not too damn sure it would work.

Cheers,

C

Duplicolor makes white tire paint pens. I've never used them, but there only $10.

are you sure the letters are wearing off and not just getting dirty? I would try and scrub them with a s.o.s. pad it works really well.

None of those white letter tire pens work. They'll look great until after the first drive or two. I've tried several brands and types because I love white letters on my bike but nothing I've found will last. Nothing. So I just deal with it and touch them up (that's code for completely re-do) every once in a while.

Brand new tire, letters freshly painted...



Same tire later that same day...

Hi, new here, but thought I'd throw in my two cents. I'm not a fan of the paint pens either, and I've tried a few my own ideas/concoctions also that haven't turned out the greatest, lol. A few months ago I came across some rubber tire lettering made by Iron Cross Innovations online and decided to give them a go. So far I love them, might be worth a shot for you. I'll let you know how they're working out for me in a few months after some more wear and tear.
